Hello,

I have been working on creating documentation (ref. manual and tutorials) on the etoy environment. I have made progress, but, every so often, my knowledge of the system proves inadequate. In those cases, I turn to the community for help. To that end, I sent the message below to the Squeakland list; something tells me, though, that I should have sent it here. Can anyone help:

...

I have been tinkering with writing some advanced topic tutorials and I have run aground when it comes to using non-number data types with variables and with using parameters (whatever the data type).

Can someone give me the run down on the use and usefulness of the various variable data types, as well as the use and usefulness of etoy parameters?

I am not looking for anything in-depth; after all, tutorial writing is my problem. A quick explanation and an even quicker example is more than I need.

Thanks,

John

PS: I look forward to some comments on the tutorial text that has been posted...
